"Nature and Steel:" Poet

 "Nature and Steel:" Poem

A tree and the plane –

Nature and steel.

Are both filling up the soul?

What a difficult turmoil!

One is for the eyes and the view.

The other has wings to fly,

To carry it out and move by.

Here comes the true observation:

We need both green environment

And modern technology’s speed and power.

Green-green grass,

And a beautiful flower

Are the sculptures of nature.

The vision of granny in the back yard

Is a pressure moment.

The metal bird

Wrapped in a foil,

Filled with oil,

And clear air, o’ my Lord,

Are the symbols of progress.

Aviation and space –

Do not distress!

The airplane takes the flight.

The steel falcon takes off and might

To go on with the high-speed business.

Sneaky space satellite

Are riding the world…

Our future is bright.

Every day from the sunrise to the moonlight

My tree and the plane

Are neither the same,

And, yet they are all right.

Nature and steel –

Our planet’s will.

They belong together,

At any kind of weather.
